Create effective Business Units in your organization!
In my first article I mentioned that all big organizations have to become flexible in
order to find their pace and become competitive. I concluded that the employees
have to develop/gain:
Flexibility, Ownership, entrepreneurial spirit & fair game skills!
The next step for the organization is to build its effective Business Units which will
operate as the cells in our body.
Different cells have different jobs to do. Groups of different types of cells make up
the organs in our body, such as our heart, liver, or lungs. Each organ has its own job
to do, but all organs work together to maintain our body. A group of different organs
working together to do a job makes up a system. All the systems in our body are like
members of a team whose job it is to keep us alive and healthy.
In the same way the members of a business unit in a company should operate.
More specifically, if we assume that a FMCG company has 4 different product
categories (Tissue products, diapers, feminine care products, adult care products)
each category should have a Unit manager, marketing people (depending on the
turnover of the category), finance manager and a sales coordinator. The organization
chart could look like that

Concluding,this way of structuringacompanybuildsunitsworkingindependently as

total group of cellscreate the widerorganization whichcanhave ahealthy andlongterm
growth.
